Okay, today I decided to go buy a pair of jeans a little too small as montivation to lose another 10 pounds. So I go pick out 3 pairs of jeans that I REALLY love. (knowing they wont fit) I went to try them on to decide which one pair was within 10 ish pounds of fitting me. As I take off my size 24's (that Ive been wearing a belt with) I begin to panic. Maybe picking out size 20 pants was a little too wishful. I slide on the first pair...and they FIT!! Like, I could go jogging in them FIT!! Not to get too excited, I tried on the next pair. Thinking a different brand, style, would have different results. THEY ALL 3 FIT!!! I went out to pick out some size 18 Jeans, and to my INSANE SURPRISE I could button them up as well. (not jogging in them for sure) But they fit over my hips and I could button them without fear of a projectile button taking out the sales clerk. SOOO EXCITED!!! The pair of jeans I picked out to get me motivated are a size 16. I cant believe I am doing so well!! Today, I bought a pair of jeans that dont fit (yet) and it was the best shopping trip EVER!!
